Ramblings of a woman "up north" trying to live a more thoughtful, considered, frugal life - to reduce my debt, to create some savings (both financial and of the planet).

Where did the weekend go?

Perhaps I was spoiled last week enjoying a long weekend, but this one has literally flown by in a whirl of shopping, cooking, cleaning, washing, ironing, entertaining, cleaning, washing ….. and as its fast approaching Sunday evening, I feel more exhausted now than I did Friday, oh how to muster the energy for a long week ahead ??

Thankfully between leftovers and my stockpile of batch cooking favourites filling the freezer, I don’t need (at least) to do too much work with this week’s meals – So, on the menu this week …….

MondayLeft over Boeuf Bourguignon, new potatoes, cabbage and leeks

TuesdayBubble & Squeak (using up more leftover new potatoes and cabbage and leak)topped with poached eggs

WednesdaySpag Bol (one of my batch cooking staples, just need to defrost portions of the sauce from the freezer)

ThursdayAnother venture into the freezer and defrost portions of homemade chicken and veg soup with crusty bread

FridayVeggie Curry (again from the freezer) and Rice

SaturdayPasta Amatriciana (again amatriciana a batch cooking favourite and once again delving into the freezer)

SundayMothers Day - I will be shopping for this meal as I tend to make my mum whatever her heart desires – I will ring her Tuesday and find out what she fancies J
